CLEVELAND, Ga. (November 8, 2025) — On Saturday, the (RV) Truett McConnell University wrestling team hosted Appalachian Athletic Conference opponent Montreat College, where the Bears battled to a hard-earned 29–17 victory against the Cavaliers.

Momentum continued to swing in TMU's favor as Christian Anderson recorded a dominant first-period fall (1:45) at 174, followed by Tyler Crow, who earned an 11–4 decision at 184. Spencer Fields showcased control at 197 with a technical fall (16–0) in the second period, before Phillip Terrell sealed the win for the Bears with a second-period fall (3:34) in the heavyweight bout.
